Black Milk is on some next shit. He’s definitely one of the best new artists (he’s a producer/MC) that I’ve heard in years. From the Dilla co-sign to new joints with Pharoahe Monch to his own blossoming career as a rapper, Black has been paying dues behind the scenes for the last few years and is set to take things to the next level with his solo album, ‘Popular Demand’, set to drop on 3/13 (in honor of his Detroit area code). Download the interview and hear about how he linked up with Slum Village, workin with Jay Dee, the unreleased BR Gunna album, how he came up with the name Black Milk & more.

*This interview is from late December, so all the references to next year are talkin about 2007. Also, a short version of the interview originally aired on Basementalism Radio in January.
